INSIDE THE GATES OF
HEAVEN Looking now again toward the center of Paradise, we see a round tower -- the very center of the City of Heaven. It is 300 miles across and almost a thousand miles high. In case you wonder about the huge distances of Heaven, consider that the moon is over 230,000 miles above the earth and we think nothing of this distance when we look at the moon. Likewise the large spaces of Heaven are no problem to the saints and the angels who live here. This round tower is called the Temple of Heaven because it contains the Throne of God and of Jesus.
"And He showed me a river The space within the tower walls is called "the Temple" or "the Most Holy Place." It is the place of the Most Holy Presence of the Most High God, the highest state of existence for a person from planet earth. Isaiah was here (Isaiah 6:1). Here the devoted saints of God dwell in chambers of divine delight, and behold the face of God. These Chamber Mansions are located in the wall that surrounds the Throne of God and of Jesus.
"The Lord is in His Holy Temple The source of the light of Heaven is the brightness of the Glory of God and Jesus. This glory light causes the Throne to be so bright that it appears like earthly snow when the sun is shining. And this Light shines through the walls of the Temple making the chambers there a very bright place to live. Sometimes the Light is so bright that the walls seem invisible and sometimes the walls sparkle with colors like a rainbow or like a tower made of diamonds. The Light of Heaven is like a golden sunrise reflected on a blue sky. In this Light, flowers, fountains and surroundings sparkle and shine with delicate rainbow hues. Heaven is a very beautiful place, and the half has not been told.
